It is also used in ceiling and wall insulation, in resins used to wrinkle-proof fabrics, in photography for hardening gelatin plates and papers, for toning gelatin-chlor- ide papers and for chrome printing and developing. It is an intermediate in drug manufacture and a pesticide intermediate.
Note: Interesting. Someone added "food additive permitted in foods for human consumption" to the description of uses for methanol, but somehow they forgot to include the natural breakdown ingredient of the methanol in aspartame into formaldehyde... and it is NOT used in items that humans eat or drink! Who gets the blame this goof, DHHS?
*COMMENTS: This is a 37% by weight solution of formaldehyde in water with 10-15% methanol added as a stabilizer. -HANDLING PROCEDURES =================== *ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This liquid and its vapors are irritants to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes [036,151,301,406]. It is also an irritant to all parts of the respiratory system [036,301,406]. It can be absorbed through the skin [169]. It can cause lachrymation [455]. Thermal decomposition products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide [058]. *MINIMUM PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: If Tyvek-type disposable protective clothing is not worn during handling of this chemical, wear disposable Tyvek-type sleeves taped to your gloves. *RECOMMENDED GLOVE MATERIALS: Permeation Test Results For The Neat (Undiluted) Chemical: The permeation test results for the neat (undiluted) chemical are given below. The breakthrough times of this chemical are given for each glove type tested. The table is a presentation of actual test results, not specific recommendations or suggestions. Avoid glove types which exhibit breakthrough times of less than the anticipated task time plus an adequate safety factor. If this chemical makes direct contact with your glove, or if a tear, puncture or hole develops, replace them at once. Glove Type Model Number Thickness Breakthrough Time Latex Ackwell 5-109 0.15 mm 4 min Butyl rubber North B-174 0.41 mm 960 min Nitrile North LA-1426 0.36 mm 1260 min *RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH- approved half face respirator equipped with a combination filter cartridge, i.e. organic vapor/acid gas/HEPA (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas, SO2 and a high efficiency particulate filter). Splash proof safety goggles should be worn while handling this chemical. Alternatively, a full face respirator, equipped as above, may be used to provide simultaneous eye and respiratory protection. *OTHER: Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring. Recommendations from the physician will depend upon the specific compound, its chemical, physical and toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route of exposure. *STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Store this material at ambient temperatures, but not below about 15 C (60 F). Keep under an inert atmosphere in a tightly closed container. Protect from exposure to light. *SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If you should spill this chemical, use absorbent paper to pick up all liquid spill material. Seal the absorbent paper, as well as any of your clothing which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash any surfaces you may have contaminated with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned. *DISPOSAL AND WASTE TREATMENT: Not available -EMERGENCY PROCEDURES ==================== *SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas. *INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Respirator Recommendation. *EYE CONTACT: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. *INGESTION: If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Generally, the induction of vomiting is NOT recommended outside of a physician's care due to the risk of aspirating the chemical into the victim's lungs. However, if the victim is conscious and not convulsing and if medical help is not readily available, consider the risk of inducing vomiting because of the high toxicity of the chemical ingested. Ipecac syrup or salt water may be used in such an emergency. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. *SYMPTOMS: Inhalation of this compound may cause irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract [036,151,301,406]. It may also cause irritation of the nose [151]. Higher concentrations may cause bronchitis, pneumonia or laryngitis [036,151]. Exposure may also cause headache, dizzi- ness, difficult breathing and pulmonary edema [215]. Coughing or dysphagia may also result. Contact with the vapor or solution causes skin to become white, rough, hard and anesthetic due to superficial coagulation necrosis. With long exposure, dermatitis and hypersensitivity frequently result [151]. Prolonged exposure may also cause cracking of skin and ulceration, especially around the fingernails and may also cause conjunctivitis [036]. Ingestion of this compound causes immediate intense pain in the mouth and pharynx [151]. It may also cause abdominal pains with nausea, vomiting and possible loss of consciousness [036,151,301]. Other symptoms following ingestion include pro- teinuria, acidosis, hematemesis, hematuria, anuria, vertigo, coma and even death due to respiratory failure [031]. Occasional diarrhea (possibly bloody), pale, clammy skin and other signs of shock, difficult micturition, convulsions and stupor may also occur. Ingestion also leads to inflammation, ulceration and/or coagulation necrosis of the gastrointestinal mucosa [151]. Corrosive damage in the stomach and esophageal strictures sometimes occur and tissue destruction may extend as far as the jejunum. Circulatory collapse and kidney damage may also occur soon after ingestion. Severe lung changes may result from aspiration of the ingested compound in combination with stomach acid [151]. Degenerative changes may be found in the liver, kidneys, heart and brain. Primary points of attack for this compound include the respiratory system, lungs, eyes and skin [301]. Lachrymation may ocur [455]. -SOURCES ======= *SOURCES: [015] Lewis, R.J., Sr. and R.L. Tatken, Eds. Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances. On-line Ed.
